Chapter 389

"Is this the origin of the Jinghong Sword?"

Just as Shen Yu thought the scene should have come to an abrupt end, the scene suddenly shifted again; a young man of about twenty or thirty years old drew this sword and bowed to it again and again.

This young man was the very disciple whom the Sword Casting Villa of the past had exhausted all its resources to cultivate with great care.

However, holding this sword, the other party did not go to seek revenge or commit slaughter, but instead enshrined it. Afterward, he rebuilt the Sword Casting Villa on the original site of the Sword Casting Villa.

This Jinghong Sword was forged in the hope that his disciple would avenge him, but this disciple had been cultivated to be very excellent, and at the same time, somewhat naive—naive to the point of being ridiculous.

He felt that there was no end to the cycle of retribution, that his master's hatred should not be continued, and that the rivers and lakes had already seen enough blood and rain.

Hatred only brings more hatred, and if hatred continues, it will only lead to endless slaughter.

Therefore, he did not go for revenge, but chose to give up, turning instead to rebuild the Sword Casting Villa, which could be considered continuing the legacy for his master.

His natural talent was very high, even surpassing his master's, and coupled with a fortuitous encounter later on, he soon began to stand out and became one of the rare experts in the rivers and lakes at the fastest speed.

In a short span of ten years, the Sword Casting Villa began to flourish under his hands, with experts like clouds and countless disciples.

Because his reputation as a hero spread far and wide, he was even more respected, and for a time, the prestige of the Sword Casting Villa even far exceeded what it had been in the past.

One day, while he was on his way to keep an appointment with a friend, he happened upon a group of people surrounding and killing a young girl of seventeen or eighteen with bright eyes and white teeth.

Out of a sense of justice, he saved the young girl and asked for the reason.

As it turned out, to his surprise, this young girl was the granddaughter of his former master's romantic rival, born to his master's former romantic rival and his old flame.

However, from the mouth of this young girl, he heard a different story.

Back then, the parents of his master's old flame had forced her to act against his master by threatening to kill themselves. It was only because her family had a handle held by the other party; if she did not do so, her entire family would face a catastrophe.

With no other choice, for the sake of her parents and family, she could only strike at her lover. In her mind, it was just losing a match, which shouldn't have been a big deal.

But she never expected that this battle would cause his master such heavy injuries, and that he would disappear from then on.

She was filled with shame and wanted to die to atone for her sins, but just at that moment, she discovered she was already pregnant, and coupled with the fact that his master's enemy was pressing her step by step, wanting her to marry him.

With no other choice, she had to grit her teeth and marry the other party.

Not long after the marriage, she gave birth to a son and bribed a doctor and a midwife to say it was a premature birth.

Just like that, the other party believed it, and just like that, three or four decades passed, and it had always been calm and peaceful.

However, paper cannot wrap up fire; all of this was eventually discovered.

The father and grandfather who had cared for her so much in the past suddenly turned into vicious executioners, killing crazily, and all of this young girl's blood relatives were slaughtered.

She herself was only able to save her life because her father desperately held them off to cover her retreat, but she still encountered pursuit.

Fortunately, heaven does not cut off all paths, and she was saved by a kind-hearted person.

In other words, everything that happened back then was due to being forced into a helpless situation, and his master's hatred was actually fake as well. Regarding this explanation, the young man believed it.

However, just to be safe, he still sent people to investigate. The results of the investigation were exactly the same as what the young girl had said.

Only then did he completely heave a sigh of relief and completely let down his guard against the young girl.

Fortunately, he did not go to avenge his master, otherwise, there would be no room for redemption.

Afterward, he cared for this granddaughter of his master even more, treating her as his own junior, and thought about handing the Sword Casting Villa over to her in the future.

But feelings often arise inadvertently. Gradually, they developed different emotions between them.

In the end, this feeling became more and more intense, until it was out of control. By the time he realized it, he had already fallen into the river of love and could not extricate himself.

In the end, he chose to have a grand wedding, chose to give her a future, and invited all his friends and relatives to witness it.

But on the day of the grand wedding, everyone was poisoned, including himself. And that young girl he loved deeply, who was like an elf, revealed her most ferocious side.

Under her leadership, a large group of experts raided the Sword Casting Villa; everyone in the villa was poisoned and no one could resist.

Disciples were killed, the villa was captured—it was fake, everything was fake.

His own lover stood beside his former master's enemy, obediently calling him grandfather.

His master's enemy stood there, looking at him with mockery, as if looking at a clown who had been played from beginning to end.

What "love growing over time"—it was clearly deliberate; the other party was clearly trying to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

And his own strength, the strength of the Sword Casting Villa, was already extraordinary; they were not confident, so they used a set of "bitter meat" tactics combined with a Beauty Trap, and he had stupidly jumped right into it.

"A mountain separates a man chasing a woman, a thin veil separates a woman chasing a man," especially when it was so deliberate; playing with an old bachelor who had never been in a relationship was really more than enough.

It was like this for his master back then, and now it was like this for him, and he was even tricked by the same family; the unwillingness in his heart can be imagined.

Even Shen Yu, who saw these scenes, could not help but shake his head; this family specialized in picking on honest people, they really were not good things.

For the master and disciple to jump into the same pit twice, it was simply unbelievable!

However, the other party still underestimated this young man; he struggled to escape with his severely injured body, but most of his strength had already been crippled.

After surviving, he thought of revenge every moment in his heart, so he began to practice the forbidden art he had accidentally obtained during his fortuitous encounter back then, sparing nothing for the sake of revenge.

This forbidden art was to absorb the power of others for one's own use, which was something he would never have used in the past.

But now, the former gentleness and elegance were replaced by nothing but hatred; he could no longer care about those things, he wanted to make the other party pay the price!

He began to kill and drink blood, absorbing the power of others for his own use. And in the repeated killings, he gradually merged with the Jinghong Sword, almost becoming one.

Finally, his strength recovered and went a step further; he began to retaliate, beginning to slaughter his former enemies.

But unexpectedly, while his strength had grown, the other party's strength was even greater. Holding the Jinghong Sword, he actually did not win.

In the end, he was utterly defeated. His former enemy even had someone bring out an infant, saying it was his child.

On the day of the grand wedding, the young girl had already been pregnant and had given birth to this child.

The reason for keeping this child was to lure him out when he escaped. Now that he had returned and was utterly defeated, this child was also useless.

Just like that, the other party smashed his son to death right in front of him.

In an instant, a heart full of rage filled his mind. He went crazy; that night he went completely crazy, and that night all he thought about was killing everyone here.

The killing intent had unknowingly completely controlled him, making him go completely berserk.

The Jinghong Sword's Sword Intent, full of negative energy, merged with him; at this moment, he felt as if he were the sword, and the sword was him.

If this feeling of the unity of man and sword had been in the past, he might have been excited for a while, but now, filled with hatred, he only had endless killing intent in his heart.

In order to win, he sacrificed everything he had to this sword. Filled with boundless rage and boundless hatred, he fused all of his flesh, blood, and power into the sword.

This sword became increasingly ferocious, as if erupting with endless killing intent in an instant. The brilliant and terrifying Sword Qi seemed as though it would tear apart everything that stood in its way.

He intended to use his entire being as a sacrifice to completely fuse his mind and spirit with the Jinghong Sword, allowing the Jinghong Sword to erupt with its most powerful strike.

In order to take revenge, he had stopped at nothing; he could abandon everything.
